Chapter 291

“Wait . I did not say I will give up . ”

“Why can’t I keep my eyes off you?”

Bae Sungmin turned his vacant eyes, and they seemed to be lamenting something lost . Bae Suzy answered herself with another question .

“Why do I keep looking at you?”

“I…”

Bae Sungmin tried to speak something, but he closed his mouth again . He wanted to reveal that he was her father, but his body set the line between them . He was dead, and Bae Suzy was alive . They existed in entirely different worlds .

“If you won’t speak, I’ll find out even if I have to force you or even Muyoung!”

Bae Suzy’s willpower returned to her as she spoke sincerely . Bae Sungmin closed his mouth and grabbed his staff tightly .

‘You have grown well . ’

Children grew fast, even when their parents turned around and were doing something else . Bae Suzy had been an exceptional child, and Bae Sungmin felt pride and sadness at the same time . Bae Suzy had grown to become an admirable woman, and he had not been able to be with her on that journey .

She would not leave the battleground until this war came to an end, and he could not stop her now .

Therefore, they had to win . Bae Sungmin raised his staff and opened the door to summon monsters who would join the battle .

“Do you see?”

Muyoung raised his head to look at Ars Paulina as she spoke .

“So many people gathered for you, Muyoung . Your wish has come true . ”

“My wish?”

“You told me you did not want to be alone anymore . ”

“I said that to you?”

Muyoung could not believe he had said that . Ars Paulina nodded .

“You wanted to do something more meaningful and overcome life, death, and everything in between . ”

“I…don’t remember . ”

“Are you sure that you just want to forget? You are not used to these kinds of things . ”

Ars Paulina smiled . Their time had been stopped, and Muyoung was only staring at the time going by past them .

“Even if I did not forget, what would change?’

“Nothing, but you are not alone anymore . You did it . However, it is not enough . ”

“I can only watch since Solomon’s divinity is trying to erase my existence . ”

Muyoung and Solomon’s divinity were clashing and merging . Muyoung instinctively knew that he would not exist after this process was completed .

“Will you give up?”

“No, but there’s nothing I can do . ”

“Weren’t you someone who made his path if there wasn’t one?”

“You speak as if you know me well . ”

“I watched for you a long time, and that’s why I know that you’re just confused right now . ”

“I thought I arrived at my destination, or I believed so because I had never stopped until now . However, I learned that there are no starting points or ending points . ”

“Is that right? Look, you gathered them together, not by Baal’s intentions but by your wish . ”

Muyoung looked outside to see Tacan, Bae Sungmin, Crimson Balrog, the nine-tailed fox and Bae Suzy, and the transcendentals fighting despite their numerical inferiority .

Everyone gathered because of Muyoung’s will, including Gremory and Amon . Muyoung had been the one to move them into action, and now they were dying . The results would be irreversible if he acted too late for those who came together for Muyoung .

“But what can I do? I cannot do anything when time has stopped . ”

Muyoung only could speak of them, and everything would be over when Baal started to move . The gap was too large, but Ars Paulina smiled .

“You can do it . Baal intentionally gave you only Ars Nova and me, and you made everything else . Those unique factors will work for you even when the time has stopped . ”

She was telling Muyoung to do what he could . Muyoung thought about what he could do, and something only he could do . ‘My sword . ’ It was a weapon only Muyoung had, and he raised the sword in his mind as Baal had never intended Muyoung to have it . His sword was composed of 51 strikes but was not completed yet . He did not need his body to move but accepted his sword and started to create it anew .

Muyoung went deep inside himself and slowed down the flow of time by 128 times . Muyoung contemplated again and again and focused on his sword .

‘What choices do I want to make?’

His thoughts came to that, as Solomon and Baal had their own goals . On the other hand, Muyoung wanted to do something meaningful rather than trying to become a hero . Therefore, he did not hesitate to kill . However, Muyoung now had to decide on the end, because he could only walk forward when there was a destination .

‘I…’ What made Muyoung act? He remembered again that he wanted to right the wrongs . Once he realized that, he saw the Prayer of the Gods, Ars Nova! It was a power that could make miracles happen and a power that could be used by someone who had caused a miracle . Muyoung grafted that power onto his sword . He was determined to make a miracle happen if it was needed to change everything .

‘I would become a god if I needed to . ’

If he needed divinity to become one who could right the wrongs, Muyoung would accept it . Muyoung finally found the determination to do so and would now give everything he had to a specific goal rather than simple survival and a determination to not be used by others .

Muyoung merged his sword, and if ‘The Evil Slayer’ was the stance of fifty strikes, he compressed it down and made it into a single strike . He merged dozens of miracles into his sword and swung Anguish in the time he had slowed down . It was then Solomon’s divinity reacted . The power began to become one with Anguish rather than just merging together .

Muyoung opened his eyes after completing everything and stood on his own . At the same time, six black wings and six white wings fluttered to start the flow of time again .

Hyacinth trembled because she knew that he was the king she had desperately searched and waited . He had twelve wings and a beautiful form behind his impassive face . He was more than anything she had imagined, and Hyacinth felt awed just by looking at him . While she had substantial powers to beguile, but now she was the one beguiled .
