Meanwhile, I was moving through the sky of the Underworld. The black sky of the Underworld was filled with gray clouds. Even the stars in the common night sky couldn’t be found in the Underworld. Clouds formed under my feet and became a step for me to fly in the air. I moved northward at a high speed using these clouds. In my hand, I was holding the black Poison Eating Sword that my wife handed over along with her power.

“......”

Rich voices and powerful death energy was coming from the sword and turning into smoke. They were the Army of Death that could be called the fighting power of the Underworld. I looked at the shimmering Poison Eating Sword and thought about what she had said before.

“I can’t be too late.”

It was confusing that I had suddenly become the successor of the Underworld, but for a while, I was their leader. I had no choice but to accept the request. In fact, I also wanted to leave and save Mido right away. Now I was going to use the teleportation array in the north of the Underworld.

Shortly thereafter, I was able to meet a person in charge of the teleportation to the human world. He had been in charge of handling teleportation through various dimensions for a long time. The person named Charon quickly became polite after seeing the black energy emanating from me. He respectfully guided me to the teleportation array to the human world.

“The teleportation array to the human world hasn’t been used in a very long time so there are some places to adjust. Please wait and we will start the teleportation array immediately. Then...”

I smiled when I saw Charon rubbing his hands together and flicked him a coin.

Dding-!

The coin was handed to me by my wife who said I would need it when using the teleportation array. However, Charon stuttered and paled when he saw the image of Pluto on the coin.

“Y-You are going at Pluto’s command. Now wait a moment! I’ll get it ready soon!”

Seeing Charon stuttering and hurrying to leave, I could guess how famous she was here. Here, my wife was almost like a king. I decided to sit on the rock in front of the teleportation array and wait for Charon to appear. I didn’t want to waste time so I opened the scroll with the last Flying Kick Technique that Alexus gave me.

“......”

After a while, I frowned deeply, emphasizing the wrinkles on my forehead.

“I can’t even dream of using this until I’ve mastered all the Flying Kick Techniques.”

Alexus’ secret technique of the Flying Weather Dance, called the final Flying Kick Technique, gathered all of the Flying Kick Techniques as one. The secret technique mentioned here was also related to the last sentence in Alexus’ diary that I had read. In fact, Alexus had already hidden some techniques of the final Flying Kick Technique at that time. The passage was so impressive that I still remembered it.

“Fly into the sky with my Flying Kick technique. The heavens will come before you.”

It was literally a Flying Kick Technique that could grab the sky. Alexus would be able to freely move in the sky like Jupiter when using this. Of course, it had the limitations of a human, but now I had some of the powers that my wife handed over. I didn’t know if I could overcome these limits.

“However, the Flying Circle Jewel written here that combines the seven forces of the weather is quite powerful.”

The Flying Circle Jewel was one of the other application methods written right next to the final Flying Kick Technique. I slowly put the scroll back in my inventory and pulled out a colorful bead. Looking at it, I couldn’t hide a bit of my reluctance. In fact, it was natural. It was because the true identity of this colorful bead was the blue sky dragon.

“......”

It was said that the blue sky dragon had been steadily accumulating his strength by assimilating with human bodies. The reason he lived as a parasite in a human body was to prepare for the worst case situation like now. This was also Gaia’s arrangement. He thought it was fortunate he didn’t know this would actually happen. He immediately turned into a five colored bead on the spot. He said that if I swallowed him, I would be able to handle the power of rain and thunder like the gods.

The blue sky dragon had turned into a bead that was placed in my hands. I was forced to accept it.

“Hah.”

I made a firm decision and immediately put the bead in my mouth. I closed my eyes and started to concentrate. A five-colored light surrounded my body and I felt an indescribable power. Subsequently, the warm spring energy that was a shimmering pink color embraced my body.

Then a small dark cloud formed above my head. Rain poured down and thunderbolts struck. The thunderbolt hit the top of my head several times. I flinched and barely endured the pain. After a while, I opened my eyes and my body was filled with a feeling of fullness.

I focused my mind and felt the power of rain and thunderbolts collided in my stomach. I felt a brighter light. I smiled when I realized that I could handle the rain and thunderbolts more freely. I immediately raised my head. In front of me, Charon was looking at me with a stupid expression. Charon flinched the moment he made eye contact with me.

“The teleportation array to the human world is ready.”

“Yes, I’ve delayed the time. Thank you.”

“No need. Haha...”

I immediately stood up and glanced at Kronos’ pocket watch hanging from around my neck. I touched the face of the pocket watch and recalled what my wife had said.

“...I can’t be too late.”

I was guided by Charon and stepped into the teleportation array. After a while, a dazzling light surrounded my body.

The fight between Ashtar and Park Muyeol reached its peak. The balance of power collapsed for the first time and a desperate cry rang out.

“Ack!”

Park Muyeol shouted in pain as he held his severed left arm. Behind him, shocked voices were heard one after another.

“Grandfather!”

“Grandfather Muyeol!”

They all had angry faces and were poised to jump out. It really happened in the blink of an eye so no one could take any measures to stop it. Zhen Sulong gritted his teeth and looked remorseful as white lightning surrounded his body and he rose into the air.

Just then, general-level demons flew from the demonic army, emitting great pressure and blocking Zhen Sulong’s way. They stared down at the walls with cold eyes. One of them stared at Zhen Sulong. The demon who came out as a representative was a high-ranking general.

“It is better not to do stupid things. Don’t forget that demons are now surrounding this place. The moment you move, we will wipe out the weakest humans.”

It was a strong warning. The users who couldn’t log out knew that death here led to real death so the warning caused great fear. In an instant, human figures staggering back in the crowd could be seen. Zhen Sulong had no choice but to watch Park Muyeol below with gritted teeth. Mido and the others were also helpless.

“...Grandfather.” However, the one enduring it the most was Park Muyeol’s grandson, Park Seongchan.

Mido clenched her fists before touching the shaking hands of Park Seongchan. All she could do now was this.

[Kuhaha! I can see the end! I will cut off your head and hang it from my waist as loot!]

Park Muyeol frowned at the skulls hanging from Ashtar’s waist. It was clear that he meant he would hang Park Muyeol’s head from his waist like this.

“Groan.” However, Park Muyeol couldn’t refute the statement. Blood was gushing from his severed left arm. Fortunately, his right arm was still fine. He wouldn’t have a problem wielding his sword, but the bleeding was so severe he wouldn’t last long.

[The stick star, ‘Hercules,’ is asking if you’re okay.]

“Of course I’m not fine. What are you saying?”

Hercules’ messages that had been busily rising immediately fell quiet. Perhaps he was speechless.

[The stick star, ‘Hercules,’ says he will come if you wait for a bit.]

“What nonsense about waiting? Aren’t you fighting in the back right now? Don’t mind me and focus on your fight. Don’t get one arm cut off like me.”

There was a moment of silence before Hercules’ message appeared again.

[The stick star, ‘Hercules,’ is telling you to take care of yourself.]

Park Muyeol curled his mouth up slightly and smiled bitterly. He said this, but in fact, the situation wasn’t good. Hercules was in a fierce battle and created a huge storm. Those in the city were surrounded by demons and unable to go out. Moreover, those floating in the air were emitting particularly strong demonic energy. They seemed to be senior demons in the army. Every one of them had energy equivalent to the constellations so it was natural that Aries and the other constellations couldn’t move.

It was a dilemma.

‘...The situation is very bad.’

If this continued, then humans could only be their slaves. It was clear that most of the users who were at the risk of dying would succumb to them. It was an extremely common sense choice. No one would risk their lives to fight against the demons. This was a virtual reality game and they were all young people with a promising, bright future. At the very least, Park Muyeol wanted to save them.

“You said your name is Ashtar?”

[That’s right! My name is Ashtar and I’m known as the Fighting God. Do you know my greatness? Kuhahaha!]

"I have a request.”

[Request? What is your request?]

[I will listen for a moment.]

Just then, the silent second head of Ashtar started speaking. The second head seemed to have an unexpectedly reticent and prudent personality. It seemed Park Muyeol could communicate with him. Park Muyeol smiled and said, “I’m going to give you my head. In return, don’t touch them.”

[Hoh.]

[Hah?]

Ashtar’s two heads showed different reactions.

“No!”

A desperate cry was heard from behind. Park Muyeol seemed to know who was shouting even without turning his head. The identity of the voice was Park Seongchan.

“Grandfather, you can’t!”

At the same time, several others screamed to deter him. There was also Mido in it. However, Park Muyeol had already made up his mind. He slowly turned his head to stare at Park Seongchan struggling in the distance. Park Seongchan was being held by people on both sides and couldn’t come out.

“......”

His grandson, who resembled him, hadn’t grown up yet and was still young. Once he was a bit older, he would have an outstanding appearance that attracted quite a lot of women. Park Muyeol stared up at the sky, immersed in sentimentality. He really wanted to see his grandson become an adult, but it seemed that wasn’t possible. He felt sorry for his son and daughter-in-law who left first.

“......”

After closing his eyes for a moment and finishing his thoughts, Park Muyeol turned back to look at Ashtar. Ashtar had a hunch that Park Muyeol was preparing for death so he waited silently. Park Muyeol smiled bitterly at Ashtar.

“Go ahead.”

[...Okay. I will try to spare their lives.]

“That is sufficient.”

Ashtar’s second head firmly promised and Park Muyeol closed his eyes with a satisfied expression. There were still loud shouts from behind him. In Park Muyeol’s ears, only the voice of his grandson Park Seongchan was heard.

‘I’m sorry, Seongchan.’

Ashtar’s sword quickly passed over Park Muyeol’s neck and his body slowly fell forward to the ground. Something rolled sideways.
