Chapter 458
“Utter foolishness!” spat the will of the universe in disdain. He pointed at Su Jin and a sword flew through Su Jin’s body. Su Jin also swung his knife and lopped one arm off his opponent.
“You’re… very weak!” Su Jin looked slightly puzzled. The will of the universe had not been as difficult to handle as he had thought and actually seemed a little weak. The will of the universe couldn’t be raising the white flag now.
The will of the universe’s eyes glowed brightly as he bellowed, “Weak?! How dare someone like you judge how strong or weak I am!” Thousands of swords came hurtling from all directions and pierced through Su Jin.
Su Jin’s body was practically shattered to pieces, but the colorful aura quickly helped him to recover. His eyes burned like fire as he said with greater certainty, “That’s right. You’re very weak. What’s going on? Your powers are destructive, but they don’t last long and disappear completely in no time. Also, your body is recuperating very slowly.”
Su Jin was very sure of this. The arm that he had lopped off the will of the universe only recovered after several seconds had passed. While that was impossibly fast for ordinary lifeforms, for the first person in the world to rise above the limits of his mortality, that was awfully slow.
The will of the universe seemed riled up by this and started attacking more quickly now. But the quicker his attacks, the more Su Jin was certain that he was really weak now.
“I’m right, you’re very weak, like… someone about to reach the end of their life! I should have thought of that!” A realization hit Su Jin. He had thought of the will of the universe as an incarnation of the universe itself initially, but after that, he became certain that this person was not the actual universe but someone like himself. He was nothing more than an ordinary lifeform like himself. It had failed to cross his mind that if this guy was just an ordinary lifeform, it meant that his life still had some limits.
The will of the universe glowered at Su Jin and even ceased his attacks. He scoffed and said, “That’s right! Life has to eventually come to an end, right? But there are ways to prolong one’s life!”
Su Jin blinked in shock as countless thoughts flashed in his mind and he quickly grasped the most important one. He murmured, “Damn it… you killed every insurgent of each cycle not to get rid of the competition, but… to absorb them!”
