 Chapter 470: Demons (2) Hearing that there might be another core inside the dead body of the White Tiger, 6th elder Mong Mu and the Six Swords’ Ko Wanghur and Hou Sanghwa decided to bring it out. Despite being dead, the flesh and carcass of the tiger were hard. It was tough to cut it with internal energy or weapons, so they had to dismantle it with sword qi. Slash! [Ugh, is there really another core?] Hou Sanghwa frowned at the sticky black blood which was dripping onto her. Although she had reached the end of the Super Master Level, she was still weak compared to Ko Wanghur and Mong Mu. [No. I can definitely feel it inside.] [So do I. Elder Mong Mu.] Although the body was huge, the two could still feel the presence of the energy. When the body of the dead Dragon Turtle was dismantled, its spiritual energy didn’t flow to this extent. [It seems to be there.] Ko Wanghur, who was slashing the flesh, pointed to somewhere. Mong Mu then cut the area as carefully as he could. Chow! A strange light shone through the flesh of the dead white tiger. Usually, the light was bright, but this looked dark. Woong! If it was a core, then pure divine energy had to come out, but this energy was dark and ferocious like evil. [Ominous. Still, it has to be the core.] It was clear from the strong energy. All they had to do was move it out. Elder Mong Mu, who held a higher position than them, gave orders to Ko Wanghur and Hou Sanghwa. [Lord said that this core’s energy is strong, so direct contact with it is dangerous.] The Flame Qilin’s core, which was made of flame qi, would burn everything that touches it. Likewise, the core of the Dragon Turtle would electrocute people by releasing lightning if touched. Chun Yeowun had asked these three to grab the core because of their strong skills. [Understood.] Ko Wanghur wrapped both his hands in energy. And carefully placed his hands around the vicious core. Tak! That moment. Papapak! [Huh! Wh-What’s this?] He obviously covered his hands in energy. Yet, the energy pierced through it and seeped into his body. Ko Wanghur immediately tried to expel the energy, but the speed at which it was seeping into his body and spreading was beyond his imagination. When Ko Wanghur became stiff and unable to move, panicking, Hou Sanghwa shouted. [Wanghur! What’s happening?] When there was no answer, she hurried and tried to remove the black core from Ko Wanghur. As she knew not to touch it, she tried to shake Ko Wanghur’s shoulders to make him drop it. [Kyaaa!] Tremble! Tremble! Ominous energy began to enter her body the moment she put her hands on him. That was all they remembered. [Everyone needs to be killed! Everything has to be destroyed!] When the vicious energy engulfed their bodies, they became captive to the demonic nature of the energy, and feelings of hatred and anger began to rise. But, Things changed as something overwhelming entered their bodies. It seemed purer and a lot more vicious than the initial energy. Woong! Abyss-like energy filled with darkness controlled the vicious energy which had begun to rage in their bodies. The energy which ran out of control soon became a part of them. “Oooh!” A shudder came over them. People couldn’t hide their shock at what was happening. A little while ago, these two people who had been possessed by the demon energy and running around with murderous intent were now sitting on the ground and meditating. Shhh! A black haze was covering their bodies like a cocoon. Within them, the demon energy slowly stabilized. It was Chun Yeowun who was doing it. ‘With this technique made by Nano for using the Sky Demon Energy in swords, we can control the energy.’ The Sword Force of the Sky Demon was a technique that Chun Ma had created to deal with the Sky Demon Energy. Although it was the most effective, it was something that only the lords could learn, so Chun Yeowun had to use it on them with the help of Nano. ‘Done. It’s stable now.’ It was successful. Those whose energies were being eroded by the demon energy were slowly controlling it. Now, even if Chun Yeowun removed his hands, they could handle it. ‘Now it’s up to them.’ If they can control the demon energy stably inside their bodies, then they’d be able to have spiritual energy like Hu Bong’s flames and Bakgi’s lightning. And it wasn’t long. Woong! The cocoon of black haze around Ko Wanghur disappeared like a blooming flower. And the two, who were done, opened their eyes. The cultists who were looking at this were all tense. “Oh!” The eyes which had turned black were back to their original state. Sama Chak and Hu Bong, who were standing near them, exclaimed. “Are you two fine?” “Ko Wanghur! Hou Sanghwa!” The energy from the two people who managed to subdue the vicious energy was different. Like when Chun Yeowun would release his energy, it felt ferocious and dark. Ko Wanghur looked at his hands in disbelief. Black haze was rising from both palms. Woong! They radiated the demon energy which had been embodied. “What is this?” As the energy was felt, he could feel just how much the energy was maximizing his power. It seemed like he could crush anything. Hou Sanghwa too was confused and wondered about the energy. “Wanghur. What is this?” They were the ones who had their bodies eroded by the energy. “Sanghwa!” Pushing aside the question, Ko Wanghur, who confirmed that his lover was fine, smiled. Then came a voice from behind them. “I see that you are up.” “Lord!” The two of them immediately knelt on one knee. Embarrassed, Ko Wanghur spoke. “We apologize. You warned us to be careful, but we made a huge mistake.” He didn’t know what he did, but he remembered what happened before he lost control. As if not caring, Chun Yeowun responded. “No. If I had known that the Demon Energy inside it was this strong, I would have retrieved it myself.” Even a Superior Master like Ko Wanghur lost control. If it was this strong, either Marakim or Dan Jucheon should have been asked to grab the core. However, those two weren’t in the position to take orders as they were still healing their internal injuries. “Still, thanks to Lord, our lives were saved, and you prevented a major accident. Thank you for the grace you’ve shown.” “Thank you for the grace you’ve shown, my Lord.” If it wasn’t for Chun Yeowun, no one knew what would have happened and how many cultists would have been killed. The two were truly grateful that nothing major happened. Of course, 6th elder Mong Mu almost lost his life. “But Lord, is it fine if I ask just one thing?” Chun Yeowun nodded at Hou Sanghwa’s question. “When we were using the technique that Lord was guiding us with, the demon energy established itself in the dantian. I have no idea how.” Vicious demon energy. That energy was completely different from spiritual energy. It was natural for her to wonder. Chun Yeowun smiled at the two. “Sky Demon Energy…. No, it’s Demon Energy.” “Demon energy?” A destructive demon energy which is the complete opposite of divine energy. Chun Yeowun named it from the Sky Demon Energy and called it Demon Energy. It was the origin of the true Demon who made the Sky Demon Order which they worship. Chun Yeowun was happy looking at the two who were doing fine. ‘If we can teach the other warriors of the cult about Demon Energy, then we will be able to respond to even enemies with spiritual energy.’ It was something that Chun Yeowun came up with because of the concern of Sama Chak. Just as Chun Ma made it possible for future generations to prepare for the crisis, Chun Yeowun laid a new foundation for the Demonic Cult to stand tall, the Demon Energy. Time passed. The day had set, and the cremation of the bodies collected near the lake was finished. Only burnt black ashes remained. Wheeing! Cultists were holding torches as they descended from the mountain in a line. “It’s dark, be careful walking down.” “For those who go down first, prepare the barracks right away.” “Yes!!” At the top, the smell of blood and burnt flesh remained, which was why they were forced to move down. There were people who were looking down the mountain. It was Chun Yeowun and Mun Ku. When he saw the last person heading down, Chun Yeowun asked with a puzzled expression. “You said you had something to say. Will you talk now?” These two had waited for all the others to head down first. It was because Mun Ku said she had something to say. When he asked, Mun Ku said that she wanted to talk when it was just the two of them. “Mun Ku?” At Chun Yeowun’s question, Mun Ku’s face turned red. He couldn’t understand why, but Mun Ku continued to breathe, again and again, clearing her throat and breathing again. “Haa, haaa. Lord.” “Hm?” “Wh-What do you think about becoming a father?” Chun Yeowun frowned at the sudden question. “Becoming a father…” Chun Yeowun, who was about to ask a question, suddenly went stiff. Chun Yeowun thought that it was strange how Mun Ku was acting. He was confused at her question, but he soon realized what she wanted to say. Tak! Chun Yeowun held her trembling hands and asked. “Mun Ku… are you?” Before he could even ask the full question. Startle! Chun Yeowun’s gaze turned somewhere. And Nano’s voice echoed in his ears. [Detected personnel wearing a suit in stealth mode.] ‘Stealth mode?’ Woong! Chun Yeowun’s eyes trembled and augmented reality opened up. In the opened-up augmented reality, a figure in red particles a good distance from him could be seen. At that moment, the figure in red particles reached out and aimed for someone. [Danger!] Something was fired. It was super fast. Chun Yeowun quickly reacted and reached for Mun Ku’s neck. Pak! “Lord?” Mun Ku was puzzled but even more shocked when she saw tiny needles between Chun Yeowun’s middle and index fingers. “How dare they! Mun Ku, please wait for me.” Swoosh! Chun Yeowun disappeared right away. Chun Yeowun, who moved right away, reached out and grabbed something. Clearly, nothing could be visible with the naked eyes, but the area shook where his hand reached out to. “Show yourself.” In the space where Chun Yeowun reached out to, something shook. Chak! The shimmering space cracked, and blue flames burst, revealing someone. It was a strange phenomenon. The person who was caught by Chun Yeowun was coughing as if breathing was becoming hard. “Kuak! Le-Let’s talk about this…” Chun Yeowun’s eyes widened as he looked at him. He was a young man in his early thirties with unique clothes that can’t be seen in Jianghu. And he was, “Chun Issa?” The descendant who injected the Nano Machine into Chun Yeowun. Chapter 471 - Descendant from the Future (1) Chapter 471 : Descendant from the Future (1) The young man in his early thirties called Chun Issa was the descendant who gave him the 7th generation Nano Machine. Chun Yeowun had seen the video inside Nano, and there was no way he wouldn’t recognize him. ‘Chun Issa?’ Issa meant Director, a position in the Sky Corporation, his company. But with that one short word itself, he inferred a lot. ‘What? Maybe, all the information related to our company put into the Nano Machine was…’ It was strange how he was being referred to as that. It was natural that he was puzzled. The one from the future didn’t even know what was recorded into the Nano Machine. ‘This is crazy. Did something go wrong?’ He had gone through a lot to come there. His first plan had also gone awry, and he didn’t think that their meeting would take such a long time. Knowing that the North Sea Ice Palace was located on Olkhon Island in Russia, he thought he knew the exact location and would see Chun Yeowun there. But when he had reached the North Sea Ice Palace, the palace was being rebuilt. Thanks to that, he had a hard time tracking Chun Yeowun down. He only managed to arrive here after being caught by ‘them’ several times. ‘Is it possible that the Blade Six is involved?’ Otherwise, it was strange for Chun Yeowun to know his identity. It was a moment’s wonder, and Director Chun was on the verge of suffocation. “Cough, hand… unhand me…” Srrrk! “Haaa…” When Chun Yeowun learned of his identity, he held back from crushing his neck. But he didn’t completely let go. Although he was his descendant, he couldn’t figure out why he did that. “Why did you aim at Mun Ku?” It was absolutely unforgivable. “Haahaa… I wasn’t aiming… I was trying to put her to sleep with an anesthetic gun.” “Anesthetic gun?” Nano’s voice was heard in Chun Yeowun’s ears. [As a result of analysis, it is recognized as an anesthetic needle from the TG-3100 firearm.] Woong! In the augmented reality field of view, the image of the needle Chun Yeowun had caught earlier, and its information was all written down. ‘What the hell is a gun?’ He roughly knew what anesthesia meant. It meant that it was an act or product which could cause loss of consciousness or sensation. But he didn’t know what a gun meant. [It’s a weapon that fires something using exploding gunpowder. The method is present in the system.] He had no interest in that exploding gunpowder. However, it seemed to follow the same logic as firing a shell. In any case, it was clear that the purpose of his descendant wasn’t to harm Mun Ku but to put her to sleep. “Then why did you want to put her to sleep?” “That…” Tatak! Before Director Chun could say anything, Mun Ku appeared. With eyes of wonder, she asked. “Lord, this man is?” Chun Yeowun was momentarily speechless at her question. He was at a loss for how to explain. He couldn’t say that he was a descendant who appeared from the future but tried to put Mun Ku to sleep. At that moment, Chun Yeowun heard a telepathic message from Director Chun. [This is why I was trying to put her to sleep. I don’t have much time. Could you ask your follower to step back?] ‘Follower?’ Chun Yeowun’s eyes rose. Perhaps it wasn’t written in the Sky Demon Order’s records, but the descendant didn’t seem to know who Mun Ku was. “Lord, shall I subdue him and take him away?” At Mun Ku’s words, Chun Yeowun’s expression hardened. It just had to be when the two of them were talking about the most important thing in their lives. However, this situation couldn’t be overlooked. Chun Yeowun was full of regret but thought that the situation couldn’t be helped. He looked at her and spoke in a soft voice. “Mun Ku.” “Yes, Lord.” “If I understood what you said before correctly, then today is the happiest day of my life.” “Ahhh! T-That!” At Chun Yeowun’s words, Mun Ku’s face turned tomato red. She was too flustered and shy, as she kept waving her hand back and forth. He stroked her hair with his left hand and spoke with the same soft tone. “I’m sorry, but is it okay if we get back to it at a later time?” At Chun Yeowun’s softer than usual words, Mun Ku nodded with a red face. She might have been a little disappointed, but when he spoke like that, it felt like Chun Yeowun considered her very important, and she felt grateful. “I have something to talk about with this person, so go down with the cultists first.” “Will you be fine?” Chun Yeowun had just recovered and was seriously injured just two hours ago. She didn’t want to leave Chun Yeowun alone like that. “Do not worry. This man isn’t dangerous.” “… understood. Lord. But please be careful. The strange clothes somehow… I think he’s a suspicious person.” ‘Suspicious?’ It was her opinion as she looked at the clothes of the descendant, who was still being held by the neck. Anyone who saw that outfit would be wary. “You! If you do any harm to my lord, you will never get out of this place alive.” “… yes, yes.” Director Chun reluctantly responded to Mun Ku’s warning. After giving that warning, Mun Ku descended Changbai Mountain towards the torches which were moving. When her presence was completely gone, Thud! “Ugh!” Director Chun, who was out of Chun Yeowun’s grip, hurt his butt as he landed on the ground. Director Chun shook his head and clicked his tongue. Although his ancestors in the distant past were well versed in martial arts, unlike the Director’s current time, Chun Yeowun was still a monster. ‘To become a monster in just four or five years.’ He did inject the Nano Machine for this to happen, but it was still amazing. He never imagined that his stealth mode would be discovered by both the former Lord Chun Yujong and current Lord Chun Yeowun. Stealth mode didn’t just block vision, it could also hide the energy emitted from the body, but he never expected to be found this easily. Director Chun tried to put his hand into the square bag hanging from his waist. Whoa! “What?” But then his hand stopped before he could put it into the bag. He was stopped by profound energy. “What do you think you’re doing?” Director Chun looked up with bewildered eyes at Chun Yeowun, and said. “… I don’t mean to harm you. I just have something to check.” Chun Yeowun, who was looking at the man with suspicious eyes, retracted the energy. As the hand moved, Director Chun felt amazed. Even Director Chun, who was a skilled man in his time, couldn’t restrain an opponent’s movement with his internal energy. ‘Time moved forwards, but we are going backwards.’ It was a shame. But it was unavoidable. Only the Blade Six Group had mastered proper martial arts in their time. Director Chun pulled something out of the bag. Seeing that, Chun Yeowun’s eyes lit up. ‘What is that?’ It looked like something from the future that Nano had shown him. It was strange. There was a printed image on a square-shaped object which was the size of a palm. Director Chun pressed the image on the square box a few times with his thumb, and a strange sound came out of it. Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! “Ah!” Seeing that, Director Chun exhaled a breath of relief. All he was holding was a device that could track down the 7th generation Nano Machine. He took it out to check if there was a Nano Machine in Chun Yeowun’s body. It was because he was concerned that the Blade Six had noticed that and had come to the past to do something. ‘H-How did he find and use the Gatelinium Nano Machine?’ It was a very lucky situation. But there were unsolved questions. Standing up, Director Chun spoke. “How do you know me?” He believed that remembering faces in a state of confusion was possible. But knowing his position in the present didn’t make sense. To that, Chun Yeowun said calmly. “I saw it in a video of Nano. A man called Dr. Baek called you Chun Issa.” “Video recording? The lab was being recorded. Ahh!” As his question had been resolved, Director Chun nodded his head. ‘Dr. Baek must have forgotten to delete or lock the video.’ That could be possible. If so, it was natural that Chun Yeowun knew his post. Chun Yeowun spoke to him. “Even so, I have a lot of questions for you. You gave me Nano…” “Nano? Are you referring to the Nano Machine?” “Yes.” At Chun Yeowun’s affirmation, Director Chun grabbed his stomach and laughed. “Puahahahaah! Nano! When you said Nano, I immediately thought you were talking about the Nano Machine, but you refer to it as if it’s a person.” “What’s so funny?” Chun Yeowun felt uncomfortable and frowned. “Hmph!” Director Chun suppressed his laugh immediately. When he saw Chun Yeowun five years ago, he was just a boy, but now, the sense of intimidation that Chun Yeowun gave him was far stronger than his father, Chairman Chun, could give. “Anyway, Chun Issa, why did you give…” “Hold up. I am really sorry, but my name isn’t Chun Issa.” “What?” “Chun Issa is like a position. In today’s terms, it’s a position like an elder.” An easy-to-understand explanation, Chun Yeowun nodded, making sure he understood it. “Then what is your name?” “This is a late introduction. If you have seen the video, you probably noticed my identity to some extent, so I’ll tell you everything without hiding.” Tak! The descendant bowed on one knee and took the position any cultist would take to pay respects to their Lord. “I would like to extend my greetings to my ancestor, the Slashing Demon Emperor, 24th Lord of the Sky Demon Order. I am the eldest son of Chun Mu-jin, the one hundred and seventeenth head of the great Sky Demon Order, Chun Mu-seong.” It was a polite greeting, but Chun Yeowun’s eyebrows rose. He was puzzled. “… that isn’t my title.” “Ah! It looks like you haven’t gotten the nickname yet. You’ll be called the Slashing Demon Emperor soon.” The descendant who identified himself as Chun Mu-seong said that with certainty. This was a completely different history from what he knew, and he didn’t know that the title didn’t change. “I’m saying that it isn’t the title…” “I’m sorry for interrupting my great ancestor. I really can’t stay in one place for long, so can I talk first?” Chun Mu-seong was looking impatient. Chun Yeowun sighed and nodded his head. In a way, he was angry when his words were cut off, but this man was the descendant from the future who saved his life. Chun Mu-seong rose and said. “Firstly, I would like to apologize once again for trespassing into my ancestor’s life and for this.” “What?” At that time, Chun Mu-seong pressed the video screen, which he was holding with his thumb. “7th generation Nano Machine take the orders of Chun Mu-seong, your master. Temporarily restrain the user’s body.” ‘!?’ Beep! Beep! [The command has been sent to the 7th generation Nano machine. The command right has been assigned to Master ID rather than the user.] A voice similar to Nano’s echoed from the device. When Chun Yeowun frowned and wondered, Chun Mu-seong spoke with a sorry face. “Sorry. Ancestor. I don’t have much time as I am being pursued by ‘them’. To be here, I had no other choice but to move on to Plan B because I was using the space portal, which ran out of battery after every jump.” “What does that even mean?” Chun Yeowun asked with narrowed eyes. At that, Chun Mu-seong smiled while placing his hands together. “I want to tell you everything honestly, but nothing good happens when people from the past know the future. I will never harm you, so please be patient.” He held out the device towards Chun Yeowun and said. “Move all the data that was analyzed in the user’s body to the Master ID controller. Copy all the information about martial arts and internal energy usage that have been saved as data.” [Sending commands to the 7th generation Nano machine.] The corners of Chun Mu-seong’s lips went up. This was his second plan. It was believed that as long as there was information that was being collected in the Nano Machines, it could be converted into data, and when back in the future, he could utilize it. “Please wait a minute, it will be do… uh?” Chun Mu-seong’s eyes widened as he looked at the screen on the device. [Error! Error! Commands not sent to the 7th generation Nano Machine.] “What. Try again.” [Error! Error!] The text ‘error’ was displayed on the screen. Chun Mu-seong couldn’t understand. “No way! I ordered it with my Master ID… kuk!” Woong! Before he could finish his words, Chun Mu-seong caught his breath as he floated into the air. Unbelievable, Chun Mu-seong’s eyes trembled. Apparently, Chun Yeowun had to be restrained because of the Master ID command, but Chun Yeowun was coming towards him. ‘No way, how could this happen?’ Chun Yeowun spoke to him, who was bewildered in a cold voice. “You will regret it if you don’t give me a compelling reason for this. Descendant.” Chapter 472 - Descendant from the Future (2) Chapter 472: Descendant from the Future (2) “Cough cough!” Chun Mu-seong, who was struggling in the air, couldn’t hide his shock. An impossible thing happened. The 7th generation Nano Machine is made of Gatelinium, the greatest metal ever. The best technology which had no problem with self-healing and selfupgrading. ‘Nonsense! How could he break free from the restraint!’ If the Nano Machines control the body from the inside, one couldn’t move. It was because they paralyze the nerve centers which control the cerebellum, which is responsible for movement. Chun Mu-seong was shocked, but it was a natural outcome. [External interference blocked.] ‘Good job. Nano.’ Nano had detected the command frequency sent by the device Chun Museong was holding from the very beginning. And it automatically blocked any interference. In fact, normally, what Chun Mu-seong had been intending would have happened. However, there was something that changed in Nano. ‘It’s my luck that an error occurred in Nano that time.’ The damage that Nano took from the lightning when fighting the Dragon Turtle in the North Sea. At that time, in the process of recovering from the error, the main chip of Nano was damaged, and coincidentally, in the self-upgrade, external interference was blocked. Chun Mu-seong, who didn’t know that, shouted. “Wh-What did you do?” He was emotionally agitated. It was because he couldn’t receive the data from the Nano Machine. This meant that all his hard work was in vain. But Chun Yeowun didn’t know that. “What are you doing?” Chun Yeowun asked and raised his finger upwards. Then, the body of Chun Mu-seong, who was already in the air, rose higher. “Ugh!” Chun Yeowun’s eyes were narrowed. “I would like to hear an explanation.” ‘Shit!’ Chun Mu-seong was confused. The longer he stayed here, the more likely ‘they’ would notice. So, rather than trying to persuade Chun Yeowun for a long time, he just wanted to take the data and return to the real world with the martial arts information. ‘I can’t even move.’ Being restrained like that was more severe than being caught by the neck. Seeing Chun Yeowun’s face full of displeasure, the descendant noticed how angry he was. Still, he was a descendant from the future, he wouldn’t be harmed, but it didn’t seem like he would just let him be. ‘Should I explain it in moderation?’ It was a dangerous situation if he didn’t hurry. If he was alone, that would be a different matter as he was in direct contact with them. However, there is a high probability that ‘they’ would touch Chun Yeowun. If he wasn’t alone and his luck was terrible, they would discover the existence of the 7th generation Nano Machine, then the worst would happen. “An-Ancestor, I sincerely apologize for my disrespect. But I really don’t have time. I didn’t really mean to harm you…” “That isn’t what I want to hear.” “Yes?” Shhh! Chun Yeowun moved his finger lightly. At that moment, Crack! “Kuakk!” Chun Mu-seong’s left arm got twisted and broke. At the sudden event, Chun Mu-seong screamed in pain. ‘Th-This is crazy!’ He never imagined that Chun Yeowun would break a healthy descendant’s arm. He had never felt this kind of pain in his life, almost on the very verge of losing consciousness. “Kuuuuk!” “Let me make this clear. If you hadn’t given me Nano, I would’ve cut off your arm. No more crossing the line and acting like this.” Creepy! As soon as he heard those words, Mu-seong had goosebumps all over his body. Something remembered in his brain. Among the various matters recorded about the successive lords. He remembered what was written about Chun Yeowun, the 24th Lord and Tyrant. [He has the cruelest hands among all the previous lords. Even the reason for his title being created, without leaving a single person who offended him, their arms were…] ‘… cut off.’ If his memory was correct, everything was true. It was only after his arm was twisted did he remember that. It was his worst mistake, thinking of Chun Yeowun as some little boy. Chun Yeowun was something he had to be very careful with. ‘Wiik!’ Chun Yeowun now looked at his left arm. Chun Mu-seong spoke out, scared. “I-I will talk!” AD Year. 2940. 12. 25 Just an hour before moving into the past. In the Sky Corporation lab, Dr. Baek handed over the master device capable of tracking and controlling the 7th generation Nano Machine to Chun Museong. Dr. Baek spoke in an unappealing voice. [As you asked, the data terminal information is also copied.] [Thank you. Are you sure nothing can control the 7th generation Nano Machine other than this device?] [Unless the worst possible gate in history reopened, there’s no other way to control Gatelinium.] Chun Mu-seong licked his lips, satisfied. A gate, once closed, cannot be reopened. Therefore, this device is the last means to control the 7th generation Nano Machine. Sticking out his tongue, Dr. Baek spoke. [Look, Director Chun. Wouldn’t it be better for you to use this Nano Machine instead?] The Nano Machine was something Chun Mu-seong had made, and it was the best masterpiece. It had the ability to absorb all energies, and it was impossible to trace because it wasn’t a metal that existed on Earth. [If that happens, the government and Blade Six may impose sanctions or interfere despite deviating from the rules…] [Doesn’t the Dr already know that it won’t work?] [… so, if you intervene in the past, do you think the Blade Six or the Blade God Six Martial Clan from the future will disappear? If the time axis changed, everything we did would become meaningless.] It was the thing that Dr. Baek was most concerned about. It was pointless to intervene in the past. If history changed, the present they were in could disappear like the butterfly effect, and if the time axis wasn’t changed, things would stay the same. [It doesn’t matter. I just need to prove that my predictions are correct. If it’s true, then it will be like hitting him on his head, and that’s enough for me.] [Woah, stubborn.] [Wasn’t it the Dr. who liked that? Huhu.] As if Dr. Baek lost, he raised his hands, shaking his head. From distant ancestors to recent ones, the family of Chun had been blessed, but all of them were stubborn. [Understood.] He wasn’t discouraged. Chun Mu-seong pulled out something from the bag on his waist and spoke. [This might be the last thing you get to say, any last words?] [Don’t say that even as a joke… phew, I hope you don’t enter the plan you mentioned. That’s the whole reason I made that device.] [Hahahaha, you know. The most certain…] [You! Where does the nonsensical idea of bringing the people from the past to the future even sound like a plan?] Chun Mu-seong spoke in a heavy voice. [It’s because we are in a dire situation. Because he is the only one who can deal with that monster.] [… you have gone crazy. It isn’t a brilliant idea. It’s a crazy idea.] [We’ll only know if we implement it.] [Wa-Wait a minute!] Despite the urgent call from Dr. Baek, Chun Mu-seong smiled brightly, unlocked the safety device from the bag, and pressed a button. Woong! Space around him shook with a dazzling light, and his body got sucked into the void. Chun Yeowun had heard the story from Chun Mu-seong. “What? You are trying to take ancestor Chun Ma to the future?” These were words that he never thought he would say. Combining some of the information that he learned so far, he understood that the purpose of the future descendant was to prevent the Blade God and his Clan from developing. However, when he heard that he was trying to take Chun Ma to the future, it sounded absurd. “Because he’s the only one who can face that monster.” ‘This one is crazy.’ The one called Dr. Baek didn’t like this plan. But Chun Mu-seong had gone ahead because he was sure that this plan could block the Blade God successfully. But the fact that Chun Mu-seong was here meant that the plan had failed. “That was the original plan, but Chun Ma thinks that the work and problems of the distant future are something that people of that time need to solve. He…” It was a strange thought. “I thought of taking him by force, but I didn’t dare do that.” Chun Ma was too strong. Seeing him look sad, Chun Yeowun clicked his tongue and spoke. “Tch tch, so that’s why you told Chun Ma to prepare for the future while pretending to be a prophet and calling it a prophecy?” ‘!?’ Chun Mu-seong’s eyes widened at those words. “No! How did you know that!?” He couldn’t help but be shocked when he heard Chun Yeowun say that. He never dreamed that Chun Yeowun, who was in this era, knew all that. ‘Who is this man?’ He did give him a Nano Machine, but he couldn’t guess what all had happened in just four years. ‘Because Chun Ma showed it to me.’ The appearance of the prophet shown by Chun Ma was Chun Mu-seong. Because of that, Chun Yeowun already knew that this man had gone to the past, the era of Chun Ma. He wanted it to be explained, “Do what you are supposed to do.” “… understood.” Chun Mu-seong, who was so afraid that his arm would be cut off, didn’t ask for more. Chun Yeowun asked the first question. “There is one thing I’m curious about. If my guess is correct, you gave me Nano to prevent the Blade God Six Martial Clan and the Blade God. But why didn’t you give Nano to Chun Ma?” This was something he couldn’t understand. If he was unsure, he should have persuaded Chun Ma from the beginning. There was no need to make things so complicated. After hesitating for a while, Chun Mu-seong opened his mouth. “There is this thing called Time Paradox.” “Time Paradox?” “It means a contradiction in time. If I implanted the Nano Machine into my ancestor, then I would have disappeared forever. Ceased to exist.” “Disappear?” “The history I know would change. Even one change in history would have a huge impact. Of course, I should have disappeared, but I didn’t. A Time Paradox occurred.” Chun Yeowun frowned. It was too complicated for him to understand. Chun Mu-seong explained it again. “… I’ll explain it simply. We have the power to decide our actions. If I kill someone in this age, his children, grandchildren, and future descendants will disappear.” “Ah!” Only then did Chun Yeowun understand. Come to think of it, if he hadn’t been injected with the Nano Machine, the Blade Lord would have obtained the cores of all five spirit beasts. Everything would have gone according to their plan. “It was a guess. It was a theory that was mentioned in many famous books. That with changes to the time axis, the universe will be born anew.” “Time axis?” “The fact that I still exist without disappearing means that my ancestors and I are walking on different time axes by changing time. Even if I go back to the future where it moves according to my time, the world will still be an era of the Blade God and the Blade God Six Martial Clan.” With a bitter expression, Chun Mu-seong continued. “There is no reward for me to come to the past. From the beginning, I came to the past with two purposes. If the time axis is divided like this, I will either take a great master who can deal with the Blade God into my time, the future or if that doesn’t…” It was then. Beep! Beep! Beep! At that moment, a strange alarm began to sound from the mechanical bracelet Chun Mu-seong was wearing on his wrist. His eyes shook as he heard that sound. “This!” Whooo! As soon as the flustered words escaped from Chun Mu-seong’s mouth, the space shook. In the shimmering space, figures covered in bright light appeared. Chun Mu-seong muttered in a voice full of despair. “T… P!” What he was the most afraid of was happening. Chapter 473 - TP (1) It was the moment when the mechanical bracelet on Chun Mu-seong’s wrist rang.Startle!‘This?’ Chun Yeowun, who had become more sensitive to the circulation of qi after realizing the flow of energy in nature, was startled. Foreign energy engulfed the surroundings to the extent that it completely reversed the natural flow of qi. Woah! The space distorted, and something appeared. The forms were dyed in the bright light behind them. His descendant, Chun Mu-seong, urgently sent a telepathic message. [Ancestor! Please release me… ah!] Thud! Fell. Even if he hadn’t asked to be released, Chun Yeowun released him the moment he sensed the foreign energy. When the restraint on his body was released, Chun Mu-seong hurriedly tried to grab something out of his bag. It was then. Four people, covered in bright light, pointed something that was in their hands and aimed. Then something fierce was released. Push! The fired objects spread around and nailed into the ground in four directions exactly ten feet away. [Spacetime canceller has been activated.] ‘What?’ Along with Nano’s voice, strong energy rose from the small machines, which were embedded in four directions. Chi-chi-chi-chi! It was as if they were cut off from the outside. The circulation of qi was completely blocked. ‘What is this?’ [A new space has been formed, which excludes all actions that may interfere with time and space.] He didn’t understand what it meant, but he had to find out soon. The beeping sound kept ringing from the device that Chun Mu-seong had halfway taken out of his bag. Beep! Beep! Beep! [Warning. Warning. Warning.] “Damn it!” Chun Mu-seong ended up cursing. He tried to jump through space and time using the time sphere, but he was too late. Frustrated, he looked at the figures who were still in the light. Strong energy was condensing on the unique sticks aimed at them by the men who surrounded them. One of them exclaimed. “Freeze! You’re under arrest.” The moment he heard those words, Chun Mu-seong raised his hands to the sky. At first, Chun Yeowun was puzzled but soon found out that the language wasn’t Chinese but English. ‘This one. Was he being chased by these guys?’ It seemed like the reason Chun Mu-seong was nervous was them. Regardless of the age, it wasn’t misunderstood. The act of raising both hands clearly meant surrender. “Hey! You! Freeze!” At that moment, one of the people in the light shouted at Chun Yeowun. He had already mastered English with the help of Nano, so there was no way he couldn’t understand that. ‘You over there! Did he just speak to me without respect?’ Chun Yeowun was pissed. Chun Mu-seong, who noticed that Chun Yeowun was upset, hurriedly spoke to the one in the light. “This man of this age has nothing to do with me!” “What are…” [Ancestor! Just, just hold on for a second! If you taunt them, they will search your body and take away the Nano Machine.] ‘Take away Nano?’ Surely, that was impossible. The 7th generation Nano Machine was made of Gatelinium, which couldn’t be tracked or detected. But there was an ‘if.’ If they found any traces of Nano, it was impossible to know how they would react. ‘To solve this problem without a fight, I need to prove that my ancestor is an ordinary civilian of this age.’ At that moment, Chun Yeowun asked. [Why the hell are they glaring at me?] It was briefly explained by Chun Mu-seong. [TP… Time Patrol.] [Time Patrol?] [Ugh, in this era, they are like guards or watchmen…] Before Chun Mu-seong could explain, one person from the Time Patrol moved closer and spoke. “Chinese? Are you Chinese?” They were speaking in English, then they suddenly spoke Chinese. They seemed skillful. “I will scan for identification.” Beep! With those words, the person brought out a small machine in front of Chun Mu-seong, and then a red line ran across him from head to toe. And a voice came out of the machine. [Identity number: chi-adu9483294-319. Search number records. Name: Chun Mu-seong. Born: AD year. 2914.11.03. Residency: Guangxi. XXX city. New development district. Sky Corporation’s District D office building. Occupation: Director of the Sky Corporation.] Hearing all the information coming from the machine, a grunting sound could be heard from the person. “This is huge.” Woong! As soon as the scan was done, the light around their bodies soon subsided. As the light subsided, their bodies, which were dressed in unique clothes like Chun Mu-seong, except that they all had gray clothes with star and moon patterns engraved on their chests, were visible. Srrr! Soon, the one in front of Chun Mu-seong, his head moved. No, it was similar to the helmet of Chun Yeowun’s Gatelinium Nano Suit being removed. ‘This…’ Chun Yeowun’s eyes lit up. The only man who took off the helmet was blonde with blue eyes who seemed to be in his forties. He looked at Chun Mu-seong with interest and said. “I wondered what kind of a criminal we were still chasing after despite the constant pursuit and several near misses. For that person to be Director Chun, this has to be fucking messed up.” At that, Chun Mu-seong bowed his head without saying anything. “You are well aware that unauthorized time travel and manipulation of the past are the worst felonies and are punishable by life imprisonment and even death, right?” Pull. The blonde pulled out a silver sphere. Then, Chun Mu-seong put his hands together and brought them to the front, and the man placed the sphere on his wrist. Cha-cha! Miraculously, the silver sphere turned into handcuffs. “You are being placed under arrest without a warrant under Article 35 of EU.TP Criminal Code as a current offender of crimes of unauthorized time travel and time manipulation. It is stated in advance that the EU.TP Criminal Law cannot claim admissibility for the arrest. If you have an excuse, say it now.” “Detective, this person has nothing to do with me…” “Even so, those in contact are unconditionally put under the EU.TP Criminal Law as long as they come in contact with us. So, let’s not fool each other anymore. Mr. Chun.” “This was an accident…” Before he could even finish speaking, electricity flowed out of the handcuffs he was wearing. Crackle! “Kuuuk!” His whole body convulsed and collapsed. The man waved his index finger left to right, and Chun Mu-seong was screaming. “Tch, tch, don’t do anything stupid. Director Chun. Have you seen the movie series 008? We also have the license to kill. Rebellion can result in immediate execution under the EU.TP Criminal Law.” The man said that he could kill Chun Mu-seong at any time, and one person of the Time Patrol approached Chun Yeowun. Then he pulled out a strange silver stick device and pointed it at Chun Yeowun. When Chun Mu-seong saw that, he was startled and tried to speak telepathically. [Ancestor!] Kwak! “Ack!” At that moment, the blonde trampled on his neck. “Since you are Chinese, I thought that there might be another means of communication. But man… what was that? Ah, if you use those techniques… well, I guess your excuse about not knowing that man isn’t valid anymore, right?” “Kuuuk!” Woong! The helmet closed again. He nodded his head after he covered Chun Mu-seong’s eyes with his hand. Then, the one holding the silver stick in front of Chun Yeowun spoke in the Jianghu’s language. “Okay, now! Look here.” Flash! A dazzling flash erupted from the tip of the stick. “Damn it!” A harsh sound came out of the mouth of Chun Mu-seong, whose eyes were covered. He was well aware of the Time Patrol’s device to erase memories. It was a device used by the state secret agents as well, and he was told that the light and the small sound that flows in affects the brain’s memories. And it also allows one to manipulate memories along with erasing them. The machine was called ‘Man in White.’ The voice of the Time Patrol officer dealing with Chun Yeowun could be heard by Chun Mu-seong. “Man. Now you have never seen the man lying there or us.” It was fine so far. Because memories of this moment were the only ones removed. It would be great if that was all, but there was no way that the Time Patrol would be so lax. “Any memories of that man will disappear. All your memories will go back to the time before you met him.” ‘No!’ This was the worst outcome. If that happens, then Chun Yeowun’s memories will go back to before he injected the Nano Machine. Chun Mu-seong, who heard that, wanted to interfere, but, Kuk! “Cough! Cough!” The blonde had stepped on his neck, so he couldn’t even scream, let alone move. One more flash of the device will end everything. The man lifted the Man in White and tried to use it again. It was then. “What?” He wanted to lift the device. Crack! Thud! The device fell to the floor. And it wasn’t just the device. “Arm? My… my… my… armmmmmm!!!” ‘!?’ At the word arm, Chun Mu-seong had no choice but to doubt what he just heard. Did his ancestor just cut off the arm of a Time Patrol officer? Clench! “Kuck!” Their suit automatically stopped the bleeding after their arm was cut off, but then the person’s neck was caught. Shocked, the other Time Patrol officer’s raised their weapons and aimed for Chun Yeowun. “Freeze!” “Don’t hold back! If he moves, shoot!” With that, red dots began to appear on Chun Yeowun’s body. There was a strange energy in the red light. [All the firearms’ are focused on the user. Would you like to activate the Gatelinium Nano Suit?] ‘No. It’s okay for now.’ The weapons looked dangerous, but from the information that Nano relayed to him, there was no need to open the Nano suit. At that time, the leader of this Time Patrol unit, the one who was pressing on the neck of Chun Mu-seong, shouted in a bewildered voice. “Damn it! That man must be a martial artist! If he moves even a little, shoot him!” Hearing that command, Chun Mu-seong trembled. ‘These guys have figured it out.’ Under normal circumstances, no matter how life-threatening the situation was, the Time Patrol would never attack people from the past. However, just now, a shooting order was issued. The Time Patrol knew how dangerous the command was. It would change history. This meant that they knew a time paradox had occurred, and the future had been divided into several time axes. At that time, Chun Yeowun opened his mouth, directing his words to the Time Patrol officers. “I don’t know who you people are. But there is one thing I am certain about.” “?” “You guys have started the fight. From now on, anyone who moves even a little will die.” One of the Time Patrol officers who heard Chun Yeowun’s shouted. “What? You crazy bastard! So what if you learned martial arts! You will die if I shoot!” And then he tried to shoot. The one next to him was shocked and tried to stop him but to no avail. “Wait! James is still in his hands…” “I don’t care! And he’s wearing a suit.” And he fired the gun in his hand. Dudududdud! The number of bullets continued to decrease on the screen next to the gun. A little over a hundred bullets were consumed in an instant. The martial artist should be dead by this point, so he stopped, but, “Yah, what is…” Float! All the bullets were suspended mid-air. All a hundred bullets were floating. He was at a loss for words, but Chun Yeowun simply raised his index finger towards him. And, Swoosh! Papapapapapak! “Kuaaakk!” In an instant, more than a hundred bullets stopped in the air and then flew back towards their owner and pierced their suit. All the others were shocked. “No way!” “Bu-Bullet proof suit?” The suits they were all wearing were bulletproof, and one of those suits just got pierced right in front of their eyes. “So, this is martial arts?” This wasn’t the martial arts they knew. To those who were perplexed, Chun Yeowun spoke in a cold voice. “Try moving again, okay?” Chapter 474 - TP (2) Chapter 474: TP (2) The reason why the people of the Time Patrol were shocked was pretty easy to understand. The martial artists they knew were people who could at times go beyond human limits by honing their skills. And it was a great task. Those martial artists could perform things without even wearing a suit like the Time Patrol. However, despite them exceeding the human limit and being dangerous, it wasn’t a level that could surpass science and technology. ‘It makes no sense. The m320 has no recoil, fires bullets at a speed of 1,200 m/s, and the kinetic energy of each bullet reaches 350 m/kp⁽¹⁾, but to get blocked from this distance.’ Some martial artists could block and dodge the bullets. But the number was very few. Even the most talented martial artists couldn’t stop a bullet fired from just 15 steps away. And martial artists, who have excellent eyesight and speed, prefer to avoid attacks. However, this was correct unless the m320 was equipped with an AI chip that has an automatic lock-on. “You, what are you?” This man was different from the martial artists they knew. It was a shock to the TP, who had never been in direct contact with a martial artist. But there was one person who was even more terrified. It was Chun Mu-seong. ‘Th-This is trouble!’ When he saw the TP officer get killed by Chun Yeowun, he judged that the situation had turned to the worst. Chun Mu-seong called out to Chun Yeowun. “Ancestor, please run…” Pak! “Cough!” The leader of the TP unit quickly stepped on his neck. Then, without making a sound, the TP suits began to transform. Srrrr! The suits, which became more agile than the previous form, trembled. Chun Yeowun, who looked at the change, frowned. He listened to what his descendant said and trusted Nano which always detected sounds on different frequencies. ‘The Great Gate?’ They were talking amongst themselves without actually speaking out loud. Nano referred to their conversation as simple communication. Srrr! ‘?’ At that moment, nineteen TP officers who were surrounding Chun Yeowun disappeared. It wasn’t because they moved quickly. They literally turned invisible. ‘I’m surprised, but now I will assume that you aren’t human and deal with you right here.’ Mark, the leader of the TP unit, abandoned the idea of treating Chun Yeowun as a normal man. Blocking the bullets was strange, but if he remembered the Great Gate Battle, this looked normal. Mark immediately communicated with the one called James, whose neck was being held by Chun Yeowun. [James! Get away from him with an electromagnetic wave!] As soon as the words came out, the one called James pressed his right palm with the thumb of his left hand. Pach-chi-chi-chik! A dazzling electromagnetic wave erupted from his suit. It could generate a voltage strong enough to knock out even a huge brown bear in an instant. And the TP were aiming for that instant. But, ‘Huh?’ Despite the electromagnetic wave, Chun Yeowun didn’t budge. James couldn’t hide his shock. ‘This is crazy! How can he standstill with a thousand volts running through his body?’ The man didn’t feel electrocuted. Chun Yeowun shook his head and spoke to James. “You need to be at my level to avoid getting shocked.” “What?” It was then. Pach-chi-chik! “Kuaaaak!” An incomparable thunder qi just happened to unfold in Chun Yeowun’s hand. With a flash of lightning, James, who got electrocuted, screamed frantically. Even the suit’s insulation function was useless. Spark! Spark! [Error! Error! Error!] James’ suit, which couldn’t withstand the lightning, was broken. As his face turned black, it looked like he was on the verge of death, making one TP officer fire his gun at Chun Yeowun’s wrist. Bang! Suddenly, a bullet was released. With great speed, the bullet moved, but Chun Yeowun could sense it. Chun Yeowun stretched out his left hand and unfolded a veil of energy, trying to block the bullet like before. Bang! As expected, the bullet hit the veil as if it was blocked. But then something happened. ‘Uh?’ Woong! Pach-chik! The bullet that hit the veil pierced it. Chun Yeowun hurriedly stopped releasing his energy, which the bullet just pierced, and pushed the man he was holding forward. Bang! The bullet missed and pierced the ground. The hole it made was the size of a fist. ‘It broke through the wall?’ Chun Yeowun frowned. The bullet which just came for him had considerable power. Perhaps because of its force and gunpowder, it seemed completely different. The bullet had great energy seeing how it tore past the energy veil. [That was an ultra-vibrating bullet. The kinetic energy is amplified with tremendous frequency, and it dismantles any energy shield.] Chun Yeowun’s eyes lit up with Nano words. Apparently, the TP didn’t show all their abilities. But the TP officers were shocked too. ‘It barely pierced the shield. Even the ultra-vibrating bullet is weak? Uh!’ It was very difficult to detect the speed of the bullet despite them wearing the suits. Now it didn’t seem strange to call it the Great Gate, rather than just a battle between humans. ‘Yes. Let’s just think that we are lucky!’ Their captain, Mark, ordered them. [Entire squad, ultra-vibrating bullets!] Upon receiving the order, 10 TP men scattered in all directions and opened fire. Bang! Bang! Bang! Bullets flew in. Unlike the first ones, the next bullets had a slight time difference. Of course, even so, it wasn’t a huge difference. It was one shot per second. ‘This can’t be stopped.’ Was what they thought, but Chun Yeowun raised his hand lightly. Chachachachang! Ten invisible swords sprang up around him, slashing the bullets in half. It all happened at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye. Slash! Slash! Slash! Tutututututu! The bullets fired at Chun Yeowun split in half and fell to the floor. Their faces couldn’t be seen as they were covered by the suits, but the TP were stunned. This was unbelievable. Even Mark was stunned. ‘Wh-What was that?’ The opaque sword shapes which suddenly appeared in the air and slashed the bullets. He would have been shocked if Chun Yeowun had used one sword and cut them, but this, this was plain baffling. But even more shocking, [The energy of unknown origin in the form of a sword caused an ultra vibration.] He was speechless at the analysis of his AI. According to the AI’s analysis, the man just copied their ultra-vibrating bullets. Chun Yeowun nodded his head. “I learned a good thing. This is more convenient as it consumes less energy than unification and condensing.” ‘What?’ Not just Mark, the other TP officers were shocked. This man really learned their attack. Of course, it was learning. There was a lock on the ultra-vibrating tech inside Nano. When the enemy used it, the lock automatically released, and Nano introduced it into the panel system. [Should I maintain the panel system ultra-vibrating the invisible swords?] ‘Yes.’ At Nano’s question, Chun Yeowun agreed and stretched his hand towards the invisible swords. All ten of the swords aimed in one direction. ‘What is he up to?’ The TP officers, who were hiding in stealth mode, were puzzled. “I told you to not move.” Woong! Chun Yeowun’s cold voice made Mark feel scared. It looked like he was trying to release the swords. And if the swords were strong enough to cut down their bullets, then they would be dangerous for them even with their suit’s defense at max. [We never know, so deploy shiel…] Before Mark could even finish speaking. Swoosh! The new invisible swords spread out in all directions. Puck! Puck! Puck! “Kuak!” “Ackk!” Shockingly, the swords pierced the chests of the TP officers who had fired bullets at Chun Yeowun previously. As the suits broke, blue flames rose into the air, and they fell to the ground. Thud! Thud! ‘N-No way! How can he find us in stealth mode?’ They didn’t know. In the eyes of Chun Yeowun, once the augmented reality opens, even those enemies who were in stealth mode would turn visible. ‘Well, even if I can’t see, I can feel them.’ Even if they were invisible, Chun Yeowun could recognize their energy. Mark, who thought that they might get killed, yelled. [Damn it! Don’t standstill. Keep moving! Move! Move!] At his command, the surviving TP officers quickly spread out. Perhaps because they were wearing the suits’ new form, their movements were faster than Master Level martial artists. [Squad! Shoot the electron cannon at him!] [El-Electron cannon? Sir, he is still human.] [Does that monster look human to you?] The TP officers questioned their captain’s orders but were silent. The moment he cut down an ultra-vibrating bullet, it was confirmed that the man they were facing wasn’t human. [Start shooting!] [Roger!] Clack! Clack! At his orders, the remaining TP officers pressed something on their guns, and the muzzles turned into an elongated square shape with light blue condensing in them. Gooooo! Push! With the sound of ripping the air, a blue flash of light flew out from them with great speed. It’s a phenomenon in which the electron particles spread out. ‘Even if he can stop those bullets, even if he surpasses humans, this beam…’ Woong! Push! Space distorted where the beams moved towards, and then the beams bent. The beams moved in multiple directions. ‘T-The beams were deflected?’ Mark’s eyes widened. The space around Chun Yeowun too had distorted. ‘Space distorted?’ Chun Yeowun, who was aware of the unification and condensing energies through his battle with Ark Wui and the Blade God, could distort space and temporarily bend the beams. ‘I guess experience does matter.’ Chun Yeowun’s lips formed into a thin smile. Pach-chik! “Kuak!” “Ack!” Unfortunately, five TP officers were hit by the curved beam. As the beam pierced their suits, they died. Now, there were only five people left, including Mark, who was still stepping on Chun Mu-seong. “He-He isn’t human! Eukkk!” “We need to run!” These were two kinds of behavior that humans showed when they were scared. One is to run, and the other is to rush into the opponent without a plan. Dududdudu! Three TP officers opened fire at Chun Yeowun. Although they knew that it wouldn’t work, their reasoning was broken. “D-DIEEEEEE!” Swoosh! Their bullets stopped right in front of Chun Yeowun. Their deaths were no different from the TP officer who fired first. The bullets stopped and then flew back to hit their owners. Pupupuk! “Kuak!” As the three of them fell, something changed. Woong! ‘Huh?’ The energy of nature, which had been abnormally blocked, began to circulate naturally again. [The spacetime canceller has been disabled.] This was something that occurred when the four devices embedded in four directions were dismantled. It seemed like there was a reason why the device was released. One of the two TP officers pulled something out from his waist. ‘Weapon?’ A small and round device. Click! Woong! When the TP officer pressed the protruding part of the device, the space and body shook along with disappearing. ‘What? He disappeared?’ Not hidden. Really disappeared. The little round device was a time pack. Chun Yeowun’s eyes noticed the other TP officer doing the same thing. He immediately stretched out the sword he controlled. Slash! The time pack in their hand was cut in half. “Ah! No!” The man shouted, bewildered. At the same time, a strong light flashed from the cracked sphere, and it exploded. Kwang! Rather than a normal explosion, the space distorted, and then the man’s body distorted strangely. Crack! “Kuak!” He suffered a tragic death because of the time pack explosion. Chun Yeowun actually felt sorry for the man. As he didn’t know anything about the time pack, the problem was that he mistook it for a weapon from the future. Now all that was left was their leader, Mark. “Da-Damn it…” He cursed. The suit had a stealth function, but it was of no use now. Chun Yeowun was staring at him, who was stepping on Chun Mu-seong’s neck. “Take off that foot. Okay?” At Chun Yeowun’s warning, Mark shouted while aiming the gun at Chun Mu-seong’s head. “D-Don’t move! If you try to threaten me, even the slightest bit, I will put a hole in his head!” He couldn’t kill Chun Yeowun. The only way out was to use a time pack, but if Chun Yeowun interfered, then he wouldn’t be able to run away. “Don’t even move a finger. I saw you move and kill the Time Patrollers! Just…” Push! “Kuk!” Blood gushed out of Mark’s mouth. He couldn’t stand the pain his heart was in. Surely the man was standing still, but something had pierced his heart. ‘H-He didn’t even move his fing…’ He was already falling to the floor. He never dreamed that death would visit him in such a place. Before he knew it, he ended up cursing. “Mother fu…” Pak! Chun Yeowun, who reached him instantly, took the gun from Mark’s hand as he fell. Clicking his tongue, he said. “Tch, if you were a filial son to your mother, you shouldn’t have ignored my warning.” Chapter 475 - TP (3) Chapter 475: TP (3) ‘I did it.’ He used a sword with just his mind for the first time. He was conscious of his fingers, but Chun Yeowun thought of piercing the heart in his mind. As a result, he managed to manifest the Heart Sword. The sword which gets controlled with the heart in an instant. Thud! Chun Yeowun looked at the weapon that the TP man had taken out of his pocket before falling down. It was made of some cold metal and was much heavier than he thought. Much heavier than a sword. ‘Did they use this to attack with the same power as before?’ Among the people, there wasn’t a single person who seemed skilled. However, the suits and the weapons which belonged to the future were dangerous enough to annihilate normal martial artists. ‘If they were determined and more vigilant, then they could be somewhere close to the level of Superior Masters.’ If hit by the ultra-vibrating bullet or that light beam, even a Superior Master could be killed. Moreover, the speed of the bullet was outstanding. It was difficult to even see with the naked eye. ‘… if a person who knows nothing uses this. Things would get dangerous.’ The TP was trained, but by the standards of martial arts, their training wasn’t enough. Chun Yeowun was concerned about it. Still, since he killed them and got weapons from the future, he didn’t think the results were bad. ‘Nano does the analysis to prepare a contra…’ It was then. Beep! Beep! Beep! ‘!?’ The sound was coming from the weapon in Chun Yeowun’s hand. But not only that, the same sound could be heard from the dead TP officers too. And the sound kept getting faster and faster. [Warning! Danger! Throw away the weapon now.] He could feel heat releasing from the weapon. Swish! At Nano’s warning, which echoed in his head, Chun Yeowun threw the weapon into the sky. Bang! The moment he threw it, the weapon exploded. The other weapons around the dead too exploded, leaving behind ash. And then, someone screamed. “Eukkkkk!” It was Chun Mu-seong. As he was on the ground, he had to push the body of the dead captain, Mark, off him. At that moment, Mark’s body was dyed in bright light. And the light soon turned into heat, as if something was burning. Whoop! So were the other bodies. ‘Deliberate measures to erase traces?’ Chun Yeowun began to release ice qi to prevent the body from burning. Jjjkkk! Mark’s body, which was burning up, soon turned into a block of ice. It seemed like the burning stopped. However, Phhhhh! It wasn’t just the skin that was burning. Mark’s body was burning up from the inside. Even the ice was changing. His flesh transformed into a liquid and melted. It was a sight that made Chun Yeowun frown. It was when Chun Mu-seong said, “Huk… huk… ancestor. TP officers are supposed to be incinerated automatically if something went wrong during their time travel or died.” Measures were taken so that traces of the future weren’t left in the past. It was a natural course of action, but for Chun Yeowun, it was a pity that they disappeared. “Ancestor!” Chun Mu-seong, who barely calmed down, spoke. “Ah, you are amazing! Not even my father, the Lord of our time, would have been able to stop the ultra-vibrating bullet or beam!” He couldn’t forget the scene he saw. The bullets and beams weren’t weapons that humans could deal with. They were weapons made to deal with those who had special abilities, but he never dreamed that the weapons could be stopped from such a close distance. ‘To see such a difference.’ The 7th generation Nano Machine was injected into Chun Yeowun’s body. However, in reality, Chun Yeowun, who was conscious of the TP, didn’t utilize the functions of the Nano Machine. He had subdued them with his own strength. ‘Is it possible to increase internal energy this much in just five years?’ It was amazing. Even Chun Mu-jin couldn’t stop the bullets despite spending his entire life mastering the martial arts. However, within only five years, Chun Yeowun seemed to have gone beyond their imagination, to the point where the Divine Master Level was considered ridiculous. ‘Ah… I’m really curious.’ He wanted to ask, but he didn’t want to provoke Chun Yeowun. There was one thing he could guess. There was a record that the Blade God, who had reached the Heavenly Master Level, could rupture the enemy with just a wave of his finger, as he used the Heart Blade. ‘Then, my ancestor must have reached the Heavenly Master Level too!’ Woong! When he was convinced that Chun Yeowun had reached the Heavenly Master Level, a shiver ran down his spine. It was shocking that Chun Yeowun was stronger than he expected. But he didn’t have time to think. Tak! “Ancestor!” Chun Mu-seong knelt on one knee and bowed to show respect. “What more do you have to say?” “As you have just seen, if you travel through time without permission or try to change history, we get stopped by the TP.” “You mean those guards?” He remembered that Chun Mu-seong had called the TP guards. Seeing how they acted, Chun Yeowun was sure that rather than a nonaggression pact, the martial artists were below these guards in the future. “In the future, no single person or group can overthrow a nation. You saw those weapons? They are being mass-produced in my time.” “Hm…” It was understandable. If such a weapon was used by thousands or tens of thousands of people, there was no reason to feel threatened by martial artists. “Ancestor. Thank you for saving my life.” Chun Mu-seong bowed his head and continued talking. “But soon, they will send men with equipment that cannot be compared to those which you saw now.” One had run away. Of course, even if that wasn’t the case, the last time-space coordinates of the dead ones will be recorded in the headquarters. Clearly, they would send a tracking team. However, Chun Yeowun wasn’t bothered. “Do I look like I’m scared of them?” If an enemy targeted him, he would fight back. Of course, he knew that Chun Yeowun wouldn’t be afraid of them. “I don’t know, but if the Great Gate… ah.” Chun Mu-seong didn’t continue. It seemed like he had gone too far. Since Chun Yeowun was from the past, they wouldn’t bother, but if they find Chun Mu-seong, they would surely kill him. “What do you want to say?” “Ancestor. Once I leave, please move away from this place. After all, their goal is to catch me. They might search the area, but not extensively.” Chun Mu-seong guessed that the TP would come again. Since the one who escaped would give them the right coordinates, they will quickly come to pursue. But if he went back to his original time, they wouldn’t find anything. Although the TP unit was annihilated, they would consider it unacceptable to create a new time axis. ‘It’s fortunate that this era doesn’t have media or the web.’ If there were such things, they would search for Chun Yeowun and erase his memory. Of course, if they discovered the existence of the 7th generation Nano Machine, they would track down Chun Yeowun at all costs. Tak! Chun Mu-seong put his hands together and bowed again. “It was truly an honor to meet my ancestor. And I sincerely apologize. Please know that even though I acted rudely, it was for the sake of the cult in the future.” With those words, Chun Mu-seong tried to take the time pack out of his waist bag. At that moment, Chun Yeowun reached out for the bag. Wheik! “Ah!” The only time pack got sucked into Chun Yeowun’s hands. Originally, there were two spares, but there was only one left now, and he needed that to go back to his time after the meeting with Chun Yeowun. “This is to go to the future?” Chun Yeowun asked while looking at the small round device. He saw the TP use this. “Yes, yes. Please handle that with care.” “I thought you were trying to get something from me, so why are you rushing back home already? They pursue that fast?” Chun Mu-seong had no choice but to answer the questions. “Ancestor. I have an identity chip embedded into my body which the TP can track. If you stay with me, they will track you too.” “Something inside your body?” “… yes. I want to stay longer and tell you all about the future… ugh!” Before he could finish the words, Chun Yeowun approached him. Chun Mu-seong’s body went stiff at the energy Chun Yeowun was releasing. Tatatak! “Ugh! An-Ancestor this…” “Stay still.” Chun Yeowun placed his palm on his head. And commanded Nano. ‘Nano, can you run a scan to find that identity chip in his body?’ [Possible. I’ll scan the body. Please move your palm in the direction shown in augmented reality.] With those words, augmented reality unfolded. And the direction was marked with arrows. As Chun Yeowun slowly moved his palm. The body of Chun Mu-seong was being scanned, and it turned into a three-dimensional image in Chun Yeowun’s sight. “A-Are you trying to scan my body right now?” Looking at the light coming from Chun Yeowun’s palm, Chun Mu-seong knew what was being done. “Ancestor, it seems like you are trying to find the identity chip in my body, but it flows through the blood vessels…” Papak! “Hmm!” “Be quiet.” Chun Yeowun used his energy to cover his mouth. Before long, a red dot was marked on the right shoulder. There was something microscopic moving through the veins. [5th generation Nano Machine with an identity chip has been discovered.] ‘That’s it.’ [As it detects the scan, the chip is trying to move towards the heart.] As Nano said, the red dot was trying to rapidly move from the shoulder to the heart. ‘How do we get rid of it?’ [It can be stopped with an EMP.] ‘So, you mean a strong electric shock.’ Chun Yeowun pointed to the shoulder. Crackle! At the same time, a very fine invisible sword made out of thunder qi formed. It was very close to a fine needle. It was only possible for Chun Yeowun, who had reached the Heavenly Master Level, to handle qi so freely. ‘Nano. Aim for it.’ [Yes, activating the panel system for the invisible sword. Target lock on.] Dudududu! An arrow mark was directed towards the red dot, trying to lock on. The chip moved quickly, but eventually, Nano managed to lock on. At that moment, Whoop! Crackle! “Kuaakk!” Chun Mu-seong let out a groan in pain. No matter how small the invisible sword was, it was a sword that held tremendous energy, and it pierced the blood vessels. It was natural that he felt pain. Nano’s voice echoed in Chun Yeowun’s head. [Identity chip removal was successful.] Beep! Beep Beep! The red dot disappeared from the scan. With a satisfied expression, Chun Yeowun spoke. At the same time, Chun Mu-seong yelled. “An-Ancestor! If you try to stab the ID chip like that, it will get rid of m…” “Removed.” “Huh?” “I removed the identity chip that was moving in your veins.” ‘!?’ At those words, Chun Mu-seong was confused. The Nano Machine in his body wasn’t as good as Gatelinium, but it was made of the strongest metal on the planet, so it couldn’t be stopped unless given an EMP wave or a strong electric shock. “See this?” Chun Yeowun pointed to the air. Since it couldn’t be seen by the naked eye, Chun Mu-seong put on specs. And then he magnified them a thousand times to the place Chun Yeowun was showing. “Oh my god…” The ID chip was pierced and broken. Chun Mu-seong was at a loss for words.
