Chapter 166 - Top Demonic God vs Hwanmong Ruler (1) (1/2)
Two bright eyes that shone under blond hair.
Vivid red lips.
Skin that was reminiscent of moonlight.
A white cloth covered all the important parts but it blended in perfectly with her skin.
She didn’t do anything, she just stood there.
However, she made Thanatos and s.h.i.+lenda look plain.
Dazzling.
Just looking at her was enough to make this bleak world seem fascinating.
A G.o.ddess that epitomised the splendour of destruction.
A brilliant star illuminating the darkness!
It wasn’t an exaggeration.
Kang-jun stopped breathing as soon as he saw her.
The 1st ranked great demonic G.o.d Cardia! She was literally a thousand out of a thousand.
Until he saw her, Kang-jun had thought that Karosio, s.h.i.+lenda, and Thanatos were the culmination of beauty.
Of course, Thanatos was by far the most beautiful out of them and he had been sure that there would be no one who could surpa.s.s her in the dimensional world.
However, just like there was always someone stronger, was there an end to beauty?
If he had to express beauty in terms of combat power, Thanatos and the others would be a chaos being while Cardia would have the power of a Hwanmong Ruler.
However, Kang-jun soon realized that her beauty was very dangerous.
Her beauty was beyond the other great demonic G.o.ds because the inherent destructive power in her surpa.s.sed imagination.
That’s right.
Most beings wouldn’t be able to endure the destructive aura she emitted and would be destroyed.
G.o.ds with immortality wouldn’t disappear but they would be damaged for quite a while.
Should they be at least at the rank of a great demonic G.o.d to endure it?
That wasn’t enough.
Spiros, s.h.i.+lenda, and Daric were literally petrified on the spot.
An extreme curse that turned even the great demonic G.o.ds into stone!
“Um!”
Thanatos, who had been resisting, was petrified with a final moan.
It was a type of seal.
They would be locked in stone forever unless Cardia released the curse.
If they died then they could be resurrected. However, they weren’t killed but petrified in stone forever.
‘A very scary curse.’
Kang-jun wasn’t paralyzed but he was tense.
In fact, Cardia’s beauty wasn’t the only problem.
The destructive power of beauty!
It was only the tip of the iceberg of her true abilities.
An aura of unprecedented power was emitted from her!
It was something beyond the power of destruction.
What type of level has she reached?
At that time, Cardia watched Kang-jun and lamented.
”Could that prophecy really come true? Suddenly you’ve appeared before me.”
“What does that mean?”
”On the day the Abyss opened, there was a prophecy that a person with the power of Hwanmong would appear and stop me. You are the one that prophecy was talking about.”
Someone with the power of Hwanmong.
There was a prophecy about it?
Kang-jun laughed.
“It is the first time I’ve heard of this. However, I do have the power of Hwanmong. So that prophecy will probably come true.”
Then Cardia laughed coldly.
”No, you're wrong. Although it is just like the prophecy, and you’ve appeared before me but you can’t stop me with your current power.”
At that moment, Kang-jun’s body trembled and his feet started to get harder.
Jjejejeok!
'T-this!'
It was that curse of petrification again. A part of him was turning into stone.
It was incomparably strong compared to before.
‘Euh! I can’t stop it.’
A curse derived from the transcendent power of destruction that couldn’t be stopped by him.
Cardia scoffed at Kang-jun.
“Resisting is useless. I have surpa.s.sed the power of destruction a long time ago through meditation. Just in time, you appeared before me.”
Kang-jun stared at her.
”Beyond the power of destruction! Then you should be called a top demonic G.o.d, not a great demonic G.o.d.”
“A top demonic G.o.d? Heh, I don’t dislike the sound of that. But it is a little pointless.”
Cardia smiled and continued.
“I have no interest in things like destruction. It is trivial now.”
”So what do you want?”
Cardia replied like she had been waiting for Kang-jun to ask.
”I will hold the entire dimensional system in my hands. An absolute being in the dimensional system. That's what I want.”
Kaebul! Kang-jun wanted to tell her not to talk nonsense but he couldn’t say anything.
“......!”
In the meantime, the petrification had progressed to his mouth.
Fortunately, his spirit was still intact.
As such, he could still hear Cardia’s voice.
”Now this Abyss can’t keep me bound anymore. After a while, I will go up to the Celestial World and throw them all away. The celestial G.o.ds are the ones blurring the order of the dimensional system. Once they disappear, the dimensions will become peaceful.”
It was ridiculous.
